Little confusion in reading the statement Required Clue here

Question

Consider the following series:

$\text{N 3 \$ A 2 % P 5 # 7 E R ¥ 11 T 9 B O}$

if starting from A each alternate letter/number/symbol will be deleted which letter/number/symbol will be $3^{rd}$ to the left of the letter/number/symbol which is $4^{th}$ from the right end.

1. $7$
2. $11$
3. $O$
4. $\%$
5. $R$

When we delete alternate letter/number/symbol starting from $\text{A,}$ then new series will $\text{A % 5 7 R 11 9 0}$

So, $3^{rd}$ to the left and $4^{th}$ from the right end $= 7^{th}$ from right end is $\%$

why considering deleted one

Answer 1

Yes. You are correct. In the newly obtained series, we have to find the 7th one from the right end and that is '%' - 4th option.

Where is deleted one considered?

Comments

I want to know why it is considering deleted series why not the  older series from which we are deleting..

Because it is told as the later part of an "if" statement. So, this is supposed to happen after deletion.

Shouldn't the series after alternate deletion be-

N 3 $ 2 P # E Ұ T B
